use less. with the small but powerful picker upper, bounty select-a-size. >>> it was one of those weeks in congress again. the house stood in recess meaning nothing could get done. last week, the senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of the violence against women act reauthorization. they voted 78-22. yep, 78 means this bill has bipartisan support in the senate. over in the house, we continue to wait, even as reports surfaced this week saying that some republicans are pushing to get a bill of their own passed soon. that is, assuming they can get their own members on board. which is why my letter this week goes out to one of the most vocal holdouts, republican congressman john duncan of tennessee. better known as jimmy. dear congressman duncan, it's me, melissa. this week, you were really on a metaphorical rampage with this lovely little insight about your resistance to the violence against women act. you said every bill is given a motherhood and apple pie title but if you voted based on the titl

it does nothing for us. it does great things for the oil company. >> i was going to say i think one of the important things we need to talk about when we talk communities of color, we have to talk about the solutions that take the fastest growing segment of the country. communities of color in this country are very soon going to be half of the country. when we look at the solutions that we have, one of the things we need president obama and congress to do is pay attention to how we invest in local scale renewable energy solutions that communities of color innovate. one of the things happening as we invest in renewable energy and a stimulus is it didn't pay attention enough to how we have to actually look at doing it differently given how communities of color have been excluded from investment opportunities. in boston, there were advocates that recognized homeowners in boston were not going to be able to weatherize their homes because there weren't weatherization companies nearby. community of color work they

lbj used his speech to great effect instead of precedence that remains with us. as we look forward to the president's big speech with the greatest of expectations. our anticipation goes beyond the tradition of excitement around the president's address to congress. it has everything to do with what we have come to exprotect from this particular president. when it comes to a public speech, holding forth on the big issues of the day, few have delivered like president barack obama. starting with a speech we heard from an illinois state senator that few of us knew speaking truth of power about the iraq war. in 2002, state senator barack obama said that's what i'm opposed to, a dumb war, a rash war, a war based not on reason or principle but on passion, not on politics. two years later, we still don't know him, but we would not soon forget him. after this keynote address at the 2004 democratic national convention. >> there is not a liberal america and a conservative america. there is the united states of america. there is not a black america and a white america and lat

less for us. more for you. >>> we are back and continuing to talk about the challenges, moral and legal and strategic of drone warfare and particularly because of this white paper that we saw from michael isikoff bringing out this week, and what does that white paper tell us about where we are in terms of making these kinds of decisions? >> for me, it is kind of mind boggling, and the white paper gives the administration unchecked pow toer to carry out these attacks. it is a secret determination by what is called in the white paper an informed high level government official. there's secret evidence that we have no access to, and a secret definition of the enemy, and the definition, and it is carried out if someone poses an imminent threat to the united states, but the definition of imminent is stretched out of all proportion. >> so how much have we ever really known, and american citizens in the context of war, and even in the conventional warfare, how much did we know about who the enemies were a
